Diffuse lung disease Flashcards
IPF: mean survival, prognosis, symptoms, patient population
most common idiopathic interstitial pneumonia; second worse prognosis (2-4 yrs survival)
dry cough, >50 yo
pathological diagnosis of IPF
usual interstitial pneumonia
interstitial fibroblastic foci and chronic alveolar inflammation
usual interstitial pneumonia causes
IPF, collagen vascular disease, drug injury, asbestosis
UIP imaging
early: irregular reticulation in posterior subpleural lung bases
late: fibrosis, traction bronchiectasis, posterior subpleural honeycombing
nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis: patient population, prognosis, forms
younger patients 40-50yo
responds to steroids
fibroitic and cellular NSIP forms
causes of NSIP
idiopathic, most common manifestation of collagen vascular disease, drug reaction, occupational exposure, dermatomyositis
fibroitic NSIP
GCO with fine reticulation and traction bronchiectasis
lacks honeycombing (honeycombing with UIP)
cellular NSIP
GCO without significant fibroitic changes; worse prognosis than fibrotic NSIP
NSIP imaging
sparing of immediate subpleural lung (unlike UIP)
posterior peripheral lower lobes
cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, previously bonchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP): prognosis, treatment
good prognosis, may resolve completely with steroids
pathology of COP
granulation tissue polyps that fill airways in response to infection, drug inhalation, inhalation
COP imaging
mixed consolidation and ground glass opacities in peripheral and peribronchovasculat distribution
reverse halo/atoll sign
specific for OP
central lucency surounded by ground glass halo
halo sign
invasive aspergilus
central opacity with ground glass opacity
respiratory bronchiolitis-interstitial lung disease (RB–ILD)
common in smokers; pigmented macrophages present in respiratory bronchioles
histology respiratory bronchiolitis- ILD
sheets of macrophages filling terminal airways; sparing of alveoli
RB ILD imaging features
centrilobular nodules, patchy ground glass opacities
random distribution
desquamative interstitial pneumonia imaging
diffuse basal predominant patchy/subpleural ground glass opacification; few csts
DIP histology
brown pigmented macrophages; sheets of macrophages extend into alveoli
lymphoid interstitial pneumonia
rare; associated with Sjogren syndrome or HIV
histology lymphoid interstitial pneumonia
diffuse infiltration of interstitium by lymphocytes; distortion of alveoli
imaging lymphoid interstitial pneumonia
diffuse/lower lobe predominant ground glass; thin walled perivascular cysts present
may cause pneumothorax in advanced cases
acute interstitial pneumonia aka diffuse alveolar damage
seen with ARDS; acute onset and worst prognosis
caused by surfactant destruction
phases of acute interstitial pneumonia
early: exudative; hyaline membranes, diffuse alveolar infiltration by immune cells; noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
chronic: organizazing: alveolar wall thickkening due to granulation tissue; >1 w after injury
AIP imaging
extensive geographic GGO
